President and CEO Glenn Hodgins is delighted to announce the appointment of Holly Nimmons to the senior management team of the CMC effective immediately. Holly brings extensive leadership experience working in the non-profit sector. She served as the Executive Director of the Coalition for Music Education in Canada where she oversaw all aspects of the organization for six years. She was responsible for conceiving and delivering new programs including Youth4Music featuring a national network of youth leaders from across Canada. During her time she strengthened the program Music Monday and in 2013 coordinated the first, live, earth to space, simultaneous sing-along which included Commander Chris Hadfield on the International Space Station.

She has held other senior executive positions in the arts and social services sectors including DAREarts Foundation Inc., the YWCA Canada and the College of Midwives of Ontario. She has worked with numerous other organizations in her consulting practice and most recently has worked with the CMC to help guide the creation of a pan-Canadian education strategy.

The opportunity to work with Holly couldn’t come at a better time. We are incredibly fortunate to have someone with her breadth of knowledge about the music education field and the Canadian music scene in general. She has grown up in a rich environment of musical creation and adds a wonderful new dimension to the Canadian Music Centre and the communities we serve. I couldn’t be happier. says Glenn Hodgins, President and CEO with the Canadian Music Centre.

Holly’s background with strategic planning and organizational development will have an immediate impact on the short and long-term advancement of the CMC in its service to the music community in Canada and abroad.
